same experience using a 11.10 system, Lenovo laptop, in-built camera. Attached from top shows how cheese INITIALLY takes near 100% of the CPU (Celeron 900 @ 2.2GHz), then 'not much' whilst near all the free RAM (system has 1GByte) AND swap space is consumed by cheese.
No other applications running; tested was initiated on a newly booted system. Skype + VLC + guvcview all 'seem to work fine'. System becomes un-responsive (due to it thrashing the disk) until a run- away process killer kills cheese & recovers the memory + swap space. ** Attachment added: "CPU & memory utilization of cheese (reported by top)." https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gstreamer0.10/+bug/945678/+attachment/3534870/+files/cheese.lst -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gstreamer0.10 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/945678 Title: libgstreamer0.10-0 - cheese does not open and has memory leak. Status in “gstreamer0.10” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I was told to file a bug report against gstreamer from my original bug report Bug #849474 about Cheese. When trying to open Cheese the GUI does not appear and the proccess for Cheese starts to use up ram at a very fast rate. I am unsure what is needed in the report so I have installed libgstreamer0.10-0-dbg as instructed and then done another backtrace on Cheese (attached).
